A Minnesota woman will go to the Supreme Court to sue her transgender daughter to prevent her from receiving gender confirmation surgery. Anmarie Calgaro claims that medical providers and school educators violated her parental rights by allowing her daughter to begin the gender transition process.

The following year, Calgaro sued her daughter to block her from undergoing gender transition. Surprising nobody,...

Carolyn Hax offers readers of The Washington Post with compassionate, thoughtful guidance to life’s many complicated social dilemmas. But one concerned woman got the advice-column equivalent of “STFU.” Seeking suggestions on how to deal with her friend’s possibly-gay husband, the woman wrote: Carolyn wasn’t having it, and good on Carolyn. This woman’s “hunch” is hardly enough to warrant inserting yourself into someone’s marriage. Talk to us when you see the Grindr icon hidden on the 6th page of his apps. But the advice...

The iconic series, which heralded the new normal of high-budget streaming originals, has been going strong for six seasons now, largely thanks to its no-nonsense approach to important social issues like racism, transphobia and police brutality. So fans were rightly disappointed when Netflix confirmed that the just-released seventh season will be its last – but its legacy will live on, as expressed by a series of testimonials from fans in a new video released by Netflix. “Without the show I probably...

A guy recently asked the users of the r/askgaybros subbreddit to name the “most typical gay teen thing” they ever did. And bro, did the commenters deliver relatable responses, even if they weren’t so “typical.” Here are some highlights from the thread, edited for clarity. “Mine was being obsessed with Glee and having a massive crush on my straight best friend, the object of my virginal fantasies.” “Having a huge number of girl friends and having my guy friends call me...

Three things in this life are certain: death, taxes, and male pattern baldness. And in case Dwayne Johnson and Boris Kodjoe aren’t proof enough that baldness is sexy, gay and bi Reddit users have been giving their takes. “I’m 25, and my crown is beginning to thin,” a Redditor wrote in a recent thread. “It’s happening very slowly for me, so I’m adjusting. … I know so many guys with little hair or bald on their head who are hot...

Much like listening to her music, chatting to Aurora is a calming experience, but one that also provokes thought and stays with you long after the record’s stopped spinning. Right now, she’s preoccupied with the state of the environment, stressing that our generation is the one that has the power to destroy or save the earth, a message that penetrates the listener’s mind on A Different Kind Of Human, the cinematic second ‘step’ (or half) of her new album....

Former ’90s kid actor Blake McIver has deleted every single one of his social media accounts after making an AIDS joke on Twitter. At 5:13 AM yesterday morning, McIver tweeted: “So is Pose just Glee with a viral load now?” Occasional Queerty contributor and longtime HIV/AIDS activist Mark S. King was quick to put McIver on blast. “I have #HIV antibodies older than you, sir, and never in my life has punching down been hilarious — or a good career move,” King responded. Others were equally...

More disturbing details have emerged regarding the situation involving George Michael‘s crazed boyfriend, Fadi Fawaz, who was arrested after tearing apart the late singer’s $5 million home earlier this week. Fawaz, who met Michael in 2011, has been squatting in the late singer’s London townhouse since his untimely death two and a half years ago, refusing to vacate despite repeated requests from the family.

Yelena Grigoryeva (image via YouTube screenshot)This week, international headlines recounted the murder of Yelena Grigoryeva, a Russian LGBTQ activist who was stabbed eight times and strangled after her address was posted on a website encouraging people to torture her and other queer activists. But despite her inclusion on that website and her receiving multiple death threats before her murder, Russian authorities say that Grigoryeva’s murder was committed by a man that she was “previously familiar” with.

A 71-year-old man who is currently lying on his deathbed was told by his local pastor that he couldn’t have his funeral at his childhood church because he produced a gay son. The son, Jessie Goodman, says his dying father’s last wish is to have his funeral at Lee’s Chapel Baptist Church in Sweetwater, Tennessee, and he wants Jessie to sing the hymn “The Anchor Holds” at the service. The church holds special meaning his dad because it was his family’s...

Instead, he deleted the account. “I thought I was stronger. I was...

A number of companies including Netflix and TripAdvisor have rejected the suggestion that their businesses will sponsor Boston’s so-called “Straight Pride Parade,” and the latter has found a fairly cheeky way to do it. Netflix, Lyft and TripAdvisor’s logos all appear on the website for Super Fun Happy America, the group behind Straight Pride, and an offshoot of white supremacist group The Proud Boys. Though the site lists the companies as “potential” sponsors, all three corporations have made clear they...
